1.10 VOLTAGE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENT
With the frequency between 61-62 Hertz, slowly turn
the slotted potentiometer (Figure 1.4) until line volt-
age reads 244-252 volts.
You must remove the roof to adjust the voltage
regulator.
Figure 1.4 – Voltage Adjustment Potentiometer
The voltage regulator is housed in the generator's
control panel. The
a voltage in direct proportion to frequency at a 2-
to-1 ratio. For example, at 62 Hertz, line-to-neu-
tral voltage will be 124 volts.

The 8 kW and 10 kW air-cooled Guardians offer addi-
tional features that are not factory preset:
1. Remote Start – This allows for remote starting of
the generator by means of the #183 (common)
and #178 (normally open) lines with the
Auto/Off/Manual switch set to AUTO. Closure of
the circuit starts the unit; opening of the circuit
stops the unit. See Figure 1.5.
This function will work only with the unit in the
AUTO mode.

alarm, light, horn, etc., to activate when any fault
has occurred. Lines #210 (common) and #211
(normally open) provide a "closure" on common
fault, which can be used for 120 volts, 10 amps
maximum. See Figure 1.5.
3. Remote Not Auto – The generator will not auto-
matically start during a utility failure.
